ToLiTICAL sOREHEND7ssI.

"One worthless man that gains what he
pretenCs,
Disgusts thousand uupretending
friends" Pope.
a man Is politically sore who has
been aspiring and has been defeated
dishonorably. If the failure was
justified by the circumstances, men
accept the situation and go on whole.
There is no sore SPOT left. But there
are times VIXEN men have right
to feel sore, and they would be cow
ering ours If they did not resent the
insult or neglect. When the politi-
cal lout and hummer is preferred to
the honorable and decent man the
latter has the right to feel the sting
of s"outrageous fortune" There is n
sort of soreness in polite which cer-
tainly is natural and may be in.
dulged. But the successful politi-
clan treats with contempt the per.
sonal wounds his party has inflicted
it may be on his personal friends.
II the party has stabbed his
enemy with neglect, defeat
or injustice, he is in frenzy
OF joy. Whether the sore has been
made on friend or foe great care is
taken that the wound must not be
exposed. But the injured man
must call his own surgeons, and pro-
vide his own lint and bandages.
When man has been set upon and
has had no redress ut the hands of
his party, we do not wonder that he
goes forth To say that there
has been traitor hi the camp.
He would be spiritless to not feel
the wrong and proclaim it. "Cher-
ishing the right of private judg-
ment" the party leaders have no
right to read man out OF the party
because he docs not choose to walk
under their yoke. Men who have
eyes to see and ears to hear are not
commanded anywhere to refuse to
use them. These men who use their
senses are not always sure they have
not been chastised by the party.
They had right TO talk, and they
feel under some compunctlon to tell
the truth. 1t is when they do this
the thin voice of the little party
yelper is heard, lie proclaims aloud
that the honest man who does not
look upon party corruption with
complacency is sore head. Then
the larger politicians, of loyalty, fail
in with the same howl. The "regu-
lars" never recognize the fact, but it
iN truth that they are more indebt-
ed to the Independent men inside
the organization for the growth and
prosperity of the party than they are
70 their own forces. 1t Is the indie
pendent men in the party who al
ways form the policy of the party.
1t is the "hopeless minority" which
makes it possible for tine majority to
hold on. There is such thing as
forcing party to adopt measures.
We are in favor of Il head being sore
when there is any good reason why
it should be sore. 1t is almost i'm
possible for man who knocks
around in the snags of politics to
keep himself in perfect repair all the
time.

THE democrats OF county in
Colorado appear to be introducing
southern tactics in their method of
conducting matters of political
nature, An armed mob is more
rapid means Of making vacant off y.
ces and has that advantage over
the slow process Of the law. The
only question is whether the plan
can be carried out in the north with
any hope Of permanency in the re-
suit thus accomplished. The feeling
among all classes is against coercive
measures Of this kind and the eX-
ample set is not liable to grow in

Welcome and Good VIII.

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, voices the
sentiment of the people of Washington
when It tenders thanks and good will to the
governors of Virginia, Minnesota, aud In-
diana, for the presence of the first men
toned at the National Drill, each accom-
panied by full staff, and the intention of
the last-named to be here, who, though
himself detained. sent his staff to represent
him.
justly entitled to high praise for the spleu-
did array OF Virginia volunteers at Camp
George Washington, and most particularly
for the action which proves how completely
the state Is aligning itself on modern ideas
by ignoring the color line and sending one
of,ts best colored companies as part Of its
contingent to the drill.
Gov. McDill, of Minnesota, and his staff
Travelled over thousand miles to show the
interest they felt In this first step toward
securing, in the future, fuller and better
national organization and mobilization OF
the grand army, unequaled in the world, Of
citizen soldiers, in whose patriotism,
fidelity, and valor the country conildes as
securely and with as'great trust as an infant
in its mothers love.
Gov. Gray, prevented at the last mo.
ment from coming himself, sent his staff,
and the good intention in this case must be
taken for the deed, especially as the inten-
tion was represented by the gallant gentle
men who were present.
The citizens of Washington welcome you
gentlemen, and thank you for your pres
cree,

Henry j. Ramsdell.

Another well-known figure will be seen
on our streets no more. Homer j. Rams
dell has crossed the line that divides time
from eternity-entered the shoreless ocean
where en9s the river Of life. The call came
suddenly, as Mr.. Ramsdell was In good
health until stricken by apoplexy.
Mr.. Ramsdell has been resident OF
Washington for many years, and prominent
among that intelligent and active body OF
men connected with the press. The last
official act of President Garfield was sign
ing the commission Of Mr.. Ramsdell as
register Of wills for the District OF Colum-
bia.
As man, a citizen, newspaper man, an
ofllceholder, no one ranked higher in this
community than Mr. Ramsdell. He is gone
leaving every man who knew him to regret
his removal.

That Is less than one.seventieth OF the
sum paid by England.
Brazil pays the United States and Brazil
Steamship Company 100000 milrels au-
nually (about $ss,OOO) for mail service.
The United States offers about 5000. II 1t
were not for the Brazil contract there
would be no American line TO Brazil In ex-
istence. The Argentine Republic offers
100000 annually to an American steam
line for carrying the mails; the United
States offers about $1,000. In consequence
Of our country's failure to do her part, an
American line to the Argentine Republic
cannot be established.
The Dry Goods Chronicle IN. W says:
Why is 1t that whenever II is proposed to pay
American steamships fair price for carrying
the mails TO foreign countries that howl of
subsidy" IS raised, and 1t is claimed that the
compensation should be limited TO the amount
of the postage earned on that particular route7
Stage coaches, railroads, and steamboats,
within the United states are all paid acc ori-
ing to the cost and worth of the service rem
dered In carrying the mails, and on less than
one quarter Of all the mail rontcs In the United
States does the postage equal the amount paid
by the government for mail service.
Steam and electricity have extended the
boundaries of trade to other countries, Just as
they did from one state to another In our coun.
try. "The field, now, Is the world" Our
manufacturers iced to enlarge their market,
and they cannot do this without regular, ffe.
Quent, and rapid mail communication. The
commerce of countries, which, from con.
tiguity and sympathy, would naturally trade
with us, is turned elsewhere TO competitors
whose governments recognize that trade fol-
lows lines OF communication, and are shrewd
enough to pay price for carrying the mails,
which encourages the establishment OF such
lines.
The answer to the first question Is ALI
easy one. Some OF the American lawmakers
are afraid to do what Is right, and some OF
them have not sense enough to understand
the subject, while others cover at the cry
Of "subsidy" like a spaniel before his mas
ter's lash.
To see the shameful condition Of our
shipping interest It Is only necessary to
rend the postoflice notices of the transmits.
sion Of foreign mails. Toe postoi1lce ad-
vertisement Of steamers departing Satur-
day, May 81, from New York city, convey
ing United States mails to foreign ports, Is
as follows: Fulda, Kiel, Atlas, Island,
Thames, servia, Devonia, Eden, Belgen-
land, La Bretagne, Augustine, Germanlc,
Barracouta, Andes, Trinidad, Wielund,
Anglian, and FL Callao, all foreign steamers
| only two American steamers for foreign
potts, viz, Newport and Caracas, to Pan
| anna and Venezuela.
There may be brighter day for Amsri
can shipping, for the press is generally
awakening to the absurdlty OF the present
system of doing everything for the ad
vancement of interstate communication
and nothing to secure foreign commerce
When it is fully aroused, Congress will fol
low Its lead.

Wealth is the Product of Labor.

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, boasts that the
Republican party in the twenty-five years OF
its ascendancy increased the national wealth
from sixteen billion to fifty billion, between
1850 and 1855. The national wealth may have
increased in this startling manner, but IL is
not due to the wisdom of the Republican party
Wealth is the product of labor, not of oai3e
holding. The men who produce tho wealth
of the nation In the mine, the factory, the
workshops, or on the farm take little iuteresl
in politics unfortunately, further than vo.ng
on election day. The Republican party has
enriched number of protected industries in
the east, not by facilitating the production Of
wealth In any way, hut by licensing these pig
iron princes to pluuder the people Of the
country, and wiring from labor everything
short Of surrender to actual staryation.-FJrt
WOiM (Tr.) gazette.
OF course wealth is the product of labor
when the labor is properly directed aud
the product duly protected. y man eau
labor as hard in the effort to dip the ocean
dry with q common pail or to fill it. up by
shoyeling sand into 1t from its shores as he
can in digging coal or iron ore, but those
who dig the coal and ore produce wealth by
their labor and the others do not.
The Republican party, by wise laws, di-
rected the labor of America into channels
where It would produce wealth. 1t stopped
the people from attempting to dip the ocean
dry with Democratic pail or fill 1t up with
Democratic shovel, and showed them how
the mine, the factory, the workshop, and
this farm were the places where 'labor pro-
duced wealth."
The census statistics Of the United States
are authority for the increase of wealth
fIom 1860 to 1880, and the reports OF the
states since that time, so that the statement
Of growth is official, as the Gazette, can dis
cover by examination.
A little labor, very slight and cursory
glance into the facts, would give the Gazette
and others who think like 1t, the ability,
though possibly not the inclination, to
speak the truth and not assert that the Re
publIcans have given license to "wrIng
from labor everything short of a surrender
TO actual starvatlon.n
The Republicans began making laws for
this country In 1861. Previous to that time
the country had Democratic legislators,
and the wages OF labor have doubled under
Republican laws, whilst the cost of living
has decreased nearly one-half, and as It Ia
only what labor produces in excess OF It's
consumption that goes to make wealth the
Gazette can probably see that Republican
laws have added to the wealth OF the couu-
try, as stated by the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.

Trade and the Flag Go Together.

In It's issue of May the London Cham
Der of Commerce Journal says, "The fact
that trade follows the flag has been proved
TO safety in these columus.n Toe same
phrase could be truthtully used by the Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN,, as II has shown again
and yet again that trade follows the flag.
Trade followed the flag when the Stars
and Stripes were displayed at the mast head
of the best ships 10 the world, and noated in
the breezes Of every ocean. The same class
of statesmen, who have permitted our flag to
be driven from the ocean, complain that we
have no foreign trade because of the laws
which have made us great manufacturing
nation, when 1t is the result OF their own
stupidity or criminal negligence.
England pays for ocean mail service to
British steamers annually $500, 900, the
United States paid last year for foreign
mail service $32I935.ls, less than one
tenth what England paid, and of that
sum s27S.7l7,4l went to foreign, leaving
only $i6,6lE77 paid to American vessels.
